After writing my first essay, I felt a sense of acommplishment. This is because I've never written an essay in accordance with the strict rules. It was really hard for me, but at the same time I think it is important skills for me.

After wrting my first essay, I actually feel relieved that I was always able to submit my paragraphs on time. Also, I feel little confident and less nervous about wrting essays than before. For me, writing this essay was not that difficult. It is because every week, you taught me new skills which was easy-to-follow, and you also gave me clear instructions. In addition, I was able to find great sources which made writing this essay a lot easier. However, choosing a topic was really difficult for me. I had no idea what classification essay was like before I started writing, so I took so much time to understand what principle was.

After writing my first essays, I feel pretty confident about what I did. I sent all the paragraphs on time and I always revised my essay as soon as possible so I didn't feel very difficult to write my first draft immediately. Also, I felt my English skills are improving as I write a lot of paragraphs. The difficulties that I had when I am writing was the quote. I had never wrote a quote when I am writing my essays. However, when I learned to write my quotes it got easier and easier and finally,I got used to it. I think it was a good opportunity to learn how to quote.

I had many difficulties with my essay. Using citation and bibliography correctly is very difficult for me. I learned for the first time how to use citation and bibliography, so it took much time to understand them. I feel that to finish writing my first essay is not so difficult than usual thanks to the outline. However I have no confidence whether I can use quotes properly or not yet.

After writing my first draft, I still worried about whether readers could understand my essay. Since I'm not good at writing and often make mistakes in grammar, writing this essay was really difficult for me. However, I think my essay would be much better than before through re-writing. Also, I could turned it in on time every time. I don't know whether my writing skills improved or not, I could manage to finish writing my essay. I learned a lot from you.

After finishing my essay, I'm very proud of me. Because I did my best every week in each essays. It took quite a long time to finish each essay, so I am very happy finishing it now.There are two things that I thought difficult. Firstly, putting citation. I have never learned and put citation. There are a lot of rules when we put citation, so I took a long time to comprehend all manners. Secondly, I had in trouble when I was considering about funeral structure. General to specific, it is not easy for me to be conscious toward it. I used wrote essays the way I thought good.

I have a feeling of achievement at writing my first essay. Since I had not been taught how to write essay minutely in IE Ⅱ Writing, I had a lot of difficulties with my essay. For example, using outside information in my essay was very difficult for me. I had to search information, especially quotes from experts that are not only related to the theme or topic of my essay to some extent, but also to the point on my topic. Moreover, having chosen the complicated and delicate topic, politics made it much harder.

I am so happy with finishing my first draft. I suppose my topic, religion, was too broad. That is why I had difficulties that how I was going to connect three body paragraphs and how i was going to organise whole essay. I added society and culture with religion but that was still wide topic. I should have came up with more specific idea with religion. For example, symbol and religion, or just about the Christianity.

After writing my first essay, I'm satisfied with what I did for writing good essay. I always had difficulty finishing my essay. This is because I often made mistakes. Especially, it was very difficult for me to write bibliography. I did not understand much about the information's right order. But you corrected my essay repeatedly, I understand it better than before. Now I don't still have much confidence about my essay, but I learned a lot from your class.

I had many difficulties when I wrote an essay. First, I couldn't make it in good order. I lost what I wanted to say exactly and it became complexed. The more I tried to make it easy to understand, the more I could not figured out what I should say to readers to make it understandable and believable. And another one was to find a quote suits to my essay. There were so many articles and experts' opinions but I had a difficulty with finding out the good one. While I was searching for and reading some quotes, I often lost what I wanted to say. These two were the main difficulties that I had in writing my essay.

After submitting my essay, I feel satisfied with what I had done in these 2 months. As I had never been taught how I should write essays, it was a really hard time. I had difficulties in using citations. I couldn't understand first what citation is and spent much time solving the problem. In the Reading class today, the teacher told us to make presentations within citations. It seems that this was an essential skill for me whenever I write English.

After I finished my first essay, I thought that I could have written it better. I was late to start it and couldn't take enough time to revise it. I'll try to write my second essay with a lot of thinking. I have never wrote intext citation and quote in English essay, so it was so hard for me. Also, it was hard to find statistics and expert opinion about my topic. I wrote about personalities of three Disney characters, so there was few academic or official statistics and statement.

I felt satisfied after finishing my essay. Writing about a topic you're interrested in was interesting for me. I enjoyed it a lot. Writing the introduction and conclusion was difficult. It was hard to think up of a sentence that would catch the readers attention.

I've never wrote thin kind of essay before. The essay I wrote in the first half year was a free essay, so I had a hard time writing my first essay. The first essay suppose to be easy, but coming up withe a theme was very hard for me. I had no idea what to write first. After coming up with a theme, I still had difficulties. I culdn't come up with a good thesis and sub plots. Some times I was out of ideas. I didn't know what to write halfway.

After writing my essay, I could get a sense of achievement. I wrote about Thai housing first but I changed my topic to the types of street dances. It was so hard to complete a new essay on time. However it was easier to write it than to write last one. I learned this time that I had to check some sources of information before I started to write it and make sure to write it consistent. If I could do so earlier, I made it better.
